Frosted Cranberries - these sugared cranberries are the perfect, beautiful table topper for the holidays!

Frosted cranberries!

I love how much these cranberries look like they have been dipped in snow.  They are the perfect, edible table decoration for the holidays! And so easy!

While I hate commuting in the snow, I have been WAITING and WAITING for that wonderful first snow.  When you wake up in the morning and all is quiet and you can FEEL the snow.  I don’t know how else to describe it and if you’ve never lived anywhere with snow, you won’t get it.  You look outside and everything is gray light and soft around the edges. You don’t even have to see the snow to know it has snowed.  Snow always makes me feel like I’m at home, too.  Which is silly–it snows in many many places all over the world.  But since I grew up with snowy winters and holidays, the snow still always makes me feel like I’m back home.

Stay warm, friends!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • extra sugar for rolling (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Rinse cranberries and place in large mixing bowl. Pick out any mushy or broken cranberries.
  2. Warm water on the stove until you start to see steam to rise, but it is not boiling. (If the syrup is too hot, the cranberries will burst.)
  3. Stir in 1 cup sugar until it is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour simple syrup over the cranberries. Because the cranberries will float, place a smaller mixing bowl on top of the cranberries to push them down into the water. Allow it to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in fridge overnight.
  5. When you are ready to roll the cranberries, cover a sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
  6. Drain the syrup from the cranberries and pat dry with paper towels. They will be slightly tacky from the syrup, but you don't want any liquid left on the cranberries or the sugar will clump.
  7. Place extra sugar in a small bowl.
  8. Roll 4-5 cranberries at a time in the small bowl of sugar until they are covered and place on the sheet pan. Give the cranberries a few hours to dry until the sugar hardens and forms a crust.
  9. Store the cranberries in a tupperware on the counter.

      Thanks so much, Traci! I'm hoping we get snow for the holidays, but if we don't... these will be making an appearance as a fill-in for the missing snow!

      Thanks, Suchi! Definitely let me know how you use them! So far, I always use these as a pretty app or add-on to a cheese plate. Next on the list is using them to dress up some muffins . . .
